I do have to mention that Avery Lee is wrong about AVI not supporting VBR. AVI supports constant bitrate and constant framesize with audio. This is the reason why Vorbis cannot be used (it is neither). MP3/AAC frames are fixed in size (they always decode to the same # of samples), so they CAN be used, even in VBR mode.

There is a bug in FLAC encoding. It isn't lossless at least for transcoding from FLAC to FLAC. Decompressed WAV files aren't bit identical . The same file encoded by the mediacoder at the same setings each time smaller when it transcoded FLAC to FLAC.

I know it's old discussion but I couldn't communicate to developers neither register on their forums.
